歌词以叙事的手法表现了一个青年男子在小镇上看上了一个迷人的姑娘并爱上了她的过程。路人说，这个姑娘是爱尔兰王冠上炫目的珠宝，

　　而歌名Star of county down就是指这位美丽的乡下姑娘。

　　


　　歌名： the star of the county down

　　歌 词：

　　Near Banbridge town, in the County Down

　　One morning in July

　　Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen

　　And she smiled as she passed me by.

　　She looked so sweet from her two white feet

　　To the sheen of her nut-brown hair

　　Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself

　　To make sure I was standing there.

　　From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

　　And from Galway to Dublin town

　　No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

　　That I met in the County Down.

　　As she onward sped I shook my head

　　And I gazed with a feeling rare

　　And I said, says I, to a passerby

　　"who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"

　　He smiled at me, and with pride says he,

　　"That's the gem of Ireland's crown.

　　She's young Rosie McCann

　　from the banks of the Bann

　　She's the star of the County Down."

　　From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

　　And from Galway to Dublin town

　　No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

　　That I met in the County Down.

　　I've travelled a bit, but never was hit

　　Since my roving career began

　　But fair and square I surrendered there

　　To the charms of young Rose McCann.

　　I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet

　　Did I meet with in shawl or gown

　　But in she went and I asked no rent

　　From the star of the County Down.

　　From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

　　And from Galway to Dublin town

　　No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

　　That I met in the County Down.

　　At the crossroads fair I'll be surely there

　　And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes

　　And I'll try sheep's eyes, and deludhering lies

　　On the heart of the nut-brown rose.

　　No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke

　　Though with rust my plow turns brown

　　Till a smiling bride by my own fireside

　　Sits the star of the County Down.

　　From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

　　And from Galway to Dublin town

　　No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen

　　That I met in the County Down.

音乐刚开始的时候    有点天空之城的感觉   很空灵  很喜欢 后面的女声也很不错

真是不错 歌曲开头的那段是风笛演奏的吗？销魂呀

曲风很清新啊，像在空气新鲜的森林里漫跑的感觉

很棒的音乐，听起来有种在春天里踏青的感觉，回味无穷。

非常棒的 音乐   非常喜欢 这样的民谣  谢谢楼主了

很好听啊，安静祥和，想要回归自然的感觉。

真是不错啊，算不算是欧洲民谣啊，感觉很好啊。

这首歌很清新，有点和我们《追梦人》类似，很好听

很不错的唱功，真的感觉到宁静，另外8楼的歌曲有点悲伤！
